Transcribe allows anyone to transcribe documents that are found in Acumen. Maybe you need to transcribe the letter for your research and want others to benefit from your work as well. Or maybe you’re a history buff who really enjoys reading old letters and wouldn’t mind typing out what you read to help others who aren’t as good at reading old-timey handwriting. Maybe you want to be a part of a collaborative online project. Maybe you’re just bored. Any of those things are great reasons to contribute to this project!

The University of Alabama Libraries has thousands of digitized photographs. Many of these photos may lack adequate descriptions of the people, places, or objects displayed. By applying your own tags to our photographs, you can help us fill in the blanks and provide more thorough and accurate information for students and researchers using our collections!
